The consultant must be sourced from pre-qualified TBIPS Supply Arrangement holders under contract EN578-170432, Tier 1, and must operate within the National Capital Region (NCR).

Proposals must be submitted directly via email to the Contracting Authority, Darlene Hamelin, by the deadline of May 14, 2026, and may be submitted in either English or French. No formal pricing structure, CLINs, or contract value is specified, indicating that compensation will be determined through task order negotiations under the TBIPS agreement. The place of performance is the National Capital Region, and while no formal evaluation factors, inspection criteria, or packaging requirements are detailed in the available documentation, the government retains the right to negotiate with any supplier after bid evaluation. Joint ventures are permitted, and the contractor must adhere to all PSIB compliance obligations, including potential post-award reviews.
